Plenty accomplished and so much more work to be done Achieve. Most never lucky to find a ‘wamily’ (work + family) who sees you through 12 years of the professional and personal growth. Forever an overachiever💙

Wow. Thanks Achieve for all the work you’ve done, resources, and guidance you’ve provided. I’m interested to see what’s next from WestEd 💙🧡💚 @NGSS_tweeps NGSS PLN NGSS Student Focus #NGSSchat

Achieve played an important role in number of early K-12 #OER efforts. Thanks for that good work — they’re leaving a strong legacy.

Thank you, Achieve! You showed us the power of educators in providing critical information on instructional materials through the EQuiP process. Your focus on rigorous standards and assessments has helped to ensure a generation of students are college and career-ready.

So excited to continue building meaningful relationships and supporting the science education field at our new home WestEd. I’m so grateful for my journey at Achieve and looking forward to this next chapter.

Thank you for all the kind words yesterday! 🤩 We are excited to share more about this new chapter with you. Here are some things that will and won't change for the Achieve science team:

Our team -- Jenny Sarna, Vanessa Wolbrink, and Neelo Soltanzadeh -- brings together ground-level classroom experience, district-level leadership and systems thinking, and policy analysis with expertise in the latest science education research, change management, and equity.

My goodness, what a tremendous lineup of dedicated servants to students’ need that Achieve developed. Humbled to be a part of it all. And, while I’ll miss the organization called Achieve , its contributions, people, and soul carry on!

"If it’s not aligned, why would we even look?" Districts demand the curricula they buy be standards-aligned, and research suggests they're increasingly turning to third-party services to ensure that it is. marketbrief.edweek.org/market-trends/… EdReports.org Achieve Learning List CASEL

The NextGenScience team will manage and use the tools developed by Achieve and housed on nextgenscience.org to increase availability of quality science materials, support districts to plan and implement equitable science education programs, and be stewards of the #NGSS.

"We certainly haven’t seen the last of Mike Cohen, and that’s a very good thing. His wisdom, his wit, his kindness and generosity, his energy and determination that American education must and can be better than it is—we still need that." bit.ly/3eMakHq

The past weeks have brought about many losses. Checker Finn highlights two: Abby Thernstrom, who for decades was a force in education and civil rights policy, and Achieve, a laudable ed reform org that is closing its doors. They'll both be missed. gadf.ly/2zf2IwP

Students try to find various ways to use fraction pattern blocks & combine them to make one whole (represented by the hexagon). How could you use this POW to engage all students in the mathematics? Reply using #NCTMResources. #iTeachMath #MTBoS bit.ly/2yUWMZM
